I'm a complete laymen when it comes to this, but this sounds like it would pertain to latency rather than bandwidth. I expect that fiber would have a much higher data capacity than satellite.
Yep, you're right
I was just responding to parent's comment about fiber being best because nothing is faster than light :)
